who daily inquired for him. Even Sena.

often had difficulty in seeing him at the

frequently accepted 'pot-luck' with the

officer, took charge of this room early in

thority Of the secretary, ispatched the
business Of such as neither needed nor
insisted upon the personal action of the

would privately receive, and, from time
